This week: Black Swan. Graceful. Gorgeous. Completely unhinged.

-
Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 204 - 12 Years a Slave
12 Years a Slave. Difficult. Unflinching. Essential. This week, we’re discussing Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave—a film that’s as emotionally devastating as it is masterfully crafted. There isn’t much room for jokes here, but there is plenty to talk about, from extraordinary performances to the...
-
Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 203 - Inglourious Basterds
Inglourious Basterds. Bad accents. Great dialogue. Historically aggressive problem-solving. Disclaimer: This episode contains excessive tension, outstanding performances, and at least one discussion about how Christoph Waltz had absolutely no business being that good. Beer recommended. Bourbon...
-
Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 202 - Braveheart
This week: Braveheart. Big speeches. Bigger battles. Zero indoor voices. The episode? Drinks, opinions, and highly questionable Scottish accents. Beverage recommendation: Whiskey, high-grav beer that tastes like grass, or both simultaneously. Join us for the mayhem!

Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 129 - Madame Web
After nearly a full year of dodging it, roasting it, and cheekily predicting its cinematic destiny, the wheel finally served up a dish of fate for our Season One finale: Madame Web. From the moment it was announced, we had… questions, and for months, we’ve bantered about what we might be in for.…

more -
Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 122 - Sucker Punch
This week, it's Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch—a genre-blending, brain-bending curio that’s part music video, part action fantasy, and somehow also an existential metaphor? Whatever it is, we've got drinks in hand and thoughts ready to share, so pour something bold—something with more flash than…
more -
Inebriated Cinephiles Ep. 121 - Capote
This week, it's Capote—Bennett Miller’s chilling, quiet portrait of literary legend Truman Capote during the writing of In Cold Blood. Naturally, we recommend a gin and tonic this round—heavy on the gin with no more than a whisper of the tonic, Capote-style—as we follow him from high society...
